When Cambodia try to throw jabs, we Thai will block by using our famous Muay Thai style.
the conflict stemmed from thailand's unruly people's rankling and their contempt of court. the court provided statute of limitations to protect any siem's future abuse, there, siem legal team rended irrelevant in this case, really! therefore, the conflict is related to siem wanting to steal cambodia's preah vihear temple and violation of the international treaty of 1907, you know!
siem's excuses are so lame, really!
Hey looks! Thailand is bullying ICJ!
